Title: Neeladri Sain and Power-Gated Integrated Circuit Design

Introduction

Neeladri Sain is an inventor associated with Apple Inc. in San Jose, California. His patent work addresses power management in integrated circuit devices, with a design intended to use space efficiently while providing power gating for functional circuit regions.

Latest Patents

Sain is associated with 1 patent, titled “Power Switch Design.” The patent describes integrated circuit devices with power-gated domains positioned between functional circuit regions. Power-switch cells in these domains have active-region logic that is continuous with the active-region logic in boundary cells next to the functional regions. This arrangement is designed to provide sufficient power gating while making efficient use of the space between regions. The approach may be particularly useful when the functional regions contain memory circuits.
